Committee advances one‑time '13th check' for retired public employees, 13‑0
Summary
The committee voted 13‑0 to advance House Bill 11‑45, which would authorize a one‑time supplemental payment for multiple public retirement systems using supplemental reserve accounts; supporters said it costs under $70 million and needs no general fund appropriation.
Representative Karakoff offered House Bill 11‑45 to authorize a one‑time "13th check" for specified retired public employees, including members of the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, the Teachers’ Retirement Fund, excise police, gaming control officers and conservation officers.
